[code] tags messed up by segosa on 01-21-2006 at 01:07 PM

I always wondered why the contents of the [ code ] tags only sometimes displayed in a monospace font.

Take this thread for example: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=55120

The first time I viewed it the contents of the [ code ] tag in the first post was using the Verdana font, and in the second post it was using Courier New. I looked at the source code and for the first one saw:

<span style="font-family: 'courier new',monospace;"><font face="verdana,tahoma,arial,helvetica" size="2"><br>

and the second:

<font face="verdana,tahoma,arial,helvetica" size="1">code: </font><hr color="#000000" size="1"><span style="font-family: 'courier new',monospace;">

After refreshing the thread, both posts were displayed with Courier New. The order of the <font> tags seem to be random.

Another thing, is there any chance you can change it to font-family: monospace; so it uses the browser's default monospace font? I prefer Consolas over Courier New, and I have that set as default.

I noticed this too, I just thought it was a problem with the stylesheet not verifying correctly.

hmm for a temporary fix (if you use firefox :P) you could use the @-moz-document css

simply insert the following into your userContent.css (in your profile folder)

code:
@-moz-document domain("msghelp.net") {
blockquote font, blockquote span{ font-family:Consolas !important}
}
replace "Consolas" with whatever font you like.

bump... this bug drived me crazy while I was editing posts... (wil become even more noticeable I assume when people are starting to post scripts)

I suggested to wdz to make the code tags compatible for scripts...but now I realise he should completely recode them. That way, all the annoying bugs are gone(a)

I'm not sure what the problem is (segosa's example looks normal in Opera), but I'll mess around with it tomorrow and see what I can do.

* WDZ just made this post so you won't feel ignored. :p

OK, the [code] <blockquote> now has its own class in the stylesheet and the font-family is simply set to "monospace" (just like in MyBB 1.0).

I dunno if that will "fix" whatever you're complaining about... let me know... :p[/code]
